That's not the end when it comes to honoring the UMD football team, or its insanely-accomplished head coach.
Nielson was named Tuesday as the American Football Coaches Association Division II Coach of the Year. Nielson is now 79-21 at UMD, including an astonishing 41-2 over the last three years, in which UMD has won two Division II titles (2008, 2010).
The Bulldogs have won four NSIC titles and made the NCAA playoffs four times under Nielson's leadership.
Also, the school announced that there will be a celebration of the team's latest national championship coming up on campus. The celebration will include player and staff introductions, as well as the playing of a highlight video. It's all set for Jan. 20 at 7 p.m., and will take place at Romano Gym on the UMD campus.
It's free and open to the public.
